In the first stage we plan to change the 3-bedroom house into a functional creche.

1. To pave the entrance and driveway from the gate to the end of the ground. Then from the driveway to the entrance. (This will have to be paid by the income of the day-care and through direct donations from local shops and builders.)
2. Partitions will be included to separate the kitchen from room 1, and the 2^nd bathroom from room 3.

Since this house is rented, and these improvements are not removable it has to be as cheap as possible. Even if 2^nd hand material is used.

3. We have to include a Wendy house for accommodation and a veranda. The Wendy house will be used for one of the founders with his wife at the beginning, until such time there is enough income to rent a flat for them, which we will aim for latest by the end of 2021. For the kitchen we need a new fridge. Since we have to deal with many power outages we want to change the electric hob to a 4 plate gas burner. For the same reason we would like to invest in a solar and battery backup system. We are budgeting about R165’000 for everything.
4. In equipment and teaching material IKs need practically everything from tables, chairs, carpets, educational and electronic equipment. We also need outside equipment. The amount for equipment and materials will be R100’000.
5. For our office setup, which we will need for book keeping, material preparation etc. we will need about R 35’000.

The total amount will be R300’000. The strategy is to receive the upgrades through donations and funding, over a period of 6month. At the moment we have the minimum essential equipment as in tables chairs and equipment to get going, as well the minimum requirements for operating under the Covid-lockdown.

This layout will accommodate 50 children.
